Remember all those months ago when I was finally able to tell you that Amy and Dennis had found each other!
Once again, I can finally tell you that Dennis popped the question on May 25th while visiting Amy in Atlanta! One week before their one-year anniversary of meeting each other, June 1, 2006! Donica and I were in bed asleep here in Amsterdam when Amy called with the exciting news (that was the understanding--call as soon as you find out!). We flew home, saw the gorgeous ring, celebrated Donica's mom's birthday and flew right back. Remember that crazy weekend? See, there was a reason!
This past weekend Amy flew out to LA to celebrate the 45th wedding anniversary of Dennis' parents. It was also Judy and Dave's time to congratulate Amy and Dennis in person, which made it all the more real, of course.
It was also the time when Amy and Dennis shared the news with his two daughters, Brooke (9) and Noelle (13). Nicholas (almost 7 ) was told back in May when Dennis was present, so they wanted to do the same for the girls with Amy present.
ALL THREE KIDS ARE SUPER THRILLED!
And all 3 kids will finally meet each other in late July when Amy and Nicholas will fly out for a week on the beach as a family.
Dennis plans to move to Atlanta at some point this year, going back-n-forth to see his girls who live with their mom. Sometime the girls will come to Atlanta, we hope, when we'll get to meet them...before the wedding in Hawaii sometime next year!
Is this exciting news or what! You who are parents of grown kids know how thrilling it is to see them happy, especially the second time around. We couldn't be more thrilled and can only wish them the utmost happiness as they continue this saga of their life together.

Put your hands together for
AMY and DENNIS!
AMY and DENNIS!
Donica and I will fly back home to Atlanta on Wednesday and Thursday this week (me first), getting a bit settled before we make the long drive to the Hart Family Cottage in Michigan for the July 4th weekend. Dennis will drive with us!
But first, I just had to share The News!
